| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 18, 2009 Tap at Philadelphia location. Pitch black with a creamy thick nitro head. Aroma is lightly roasty with a bit of soft malt sweetness. Good palate. Creamy and thick yet dry and quaffable. There is a dry cocoa/colaish character through the middle that gives it a unique sort of herbal flavour. Dry roasty finish. There’s not much to complain about in this glass. goldtwins (4084), Nesconset, New York, USA
